| Q10. How does the painting arrive? | Q10. The oil painting is sent stretched over the stretcher bars (the wooden frame that supports the canvas), ready for you to frame with a decorative frame of your choice. Watercolours are sent mounted for overseas addresses and mounted. They are framed and glazed free of charge for UK addresses only because of the weight and cost for postage overseas. |
| Q11. How long does the painting in the mail take to reach me? | A11. I use Special Delivery for next working day delivery for UK addresses. Overseas deliveries usually take about 4 or 5 days. |
| Q14. How long have you been in business? | A14. I have been painted professionally for almost ten years. |
I love my pet portrait work, but one of the saddest aspects is where an old pet has died and the owner has no clear photo to remember their friend by, or, indeed, to create a pet portrait memorial to their lost one. So take those pictures now, even if you do not yet decide on a painting of your pet.
The happiest aspect of my work is when my client has received their pet portrait and telephone or write to let me know how delighted they are in spite of the tears over their lost friend.
If you want a really unusual and special gift for a pet or animal lover for Christmas, Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Easter, Anniversaries, Retirements, Presentations or any other celebration, a portrait of a beloved pet is always a unique and very welcome gift. Whether it is a dog painting, cat painting, horse painting, wild animal painting, bird painting, child or adult human painting or a painting of someone's home and garden, it will bring delight and surprise to the recipient.
"Death is the liberator of him whom
freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the
comforter of him whom time cannot console."
- Charles Caleb Colton -
A place in thy memory, dearest,
Is all that I claim;
To pause and look back when thou hearest
The sound of my name.
Gerald Griffin (1803-1840): A Place in thy Memory.
